First Official Look At Ant-Man’s Villainous Yellowjacket

April 11, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

ant-man-yellowjacketAlthough there have been a couple of unofficial glimpses

, EW has now given us the first proper reveal of Ant Man’s villainous character, Yellowjacket, who it has to be said is looking pretty cool.

If you look hard, you’ll also see the tiny Ant Man himself is in the photo, but it’s tough to see how at that size he’s going to survive a punch from a plasma-cannon wielding bad guy.

However Director Peyton Reed comments, “Hank Pym’s Ant-Man suit doesn’t have a single weapon, whereas Yellowjacket is armed with plasma cannons. Ant-Man is very fast when he’s small. Also, when he shrinks, he increases his density, so he’s got increased strength.”

Here’s the synopsis: ‘The next evolution of the Marvel Cinematic Universe brings a founding member of The Avengers to the big screen for the first time with Marvel Studios’ “Ant-Man.” Armed with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, master thief Scott Lang must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats. Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Pym and Lang must plan and pull off a heist that will save the world.

Marvel’s “Ant-Man” stars Paul Rudd as Scott Lang aka Ant-Man, Evangeline Lilly as Hope Van Dyne, Corey Stoll as Darren Cross aka Yellowjacket, Bobby Cannavale as Paxton, Michael Peña as Luis, Judy Greer as Maggie, Tip “Ti” Harris as Dave, David Dastmalchian as Kurt, Wood Harris as Gale, Jordi Mollà as Castillo and Michael Douglas as Hank Pym. Directed by Peyton Reed and produced by Kevin Feige, Marvel’s “Ant-Man” delivers a high-stakes, tension-filled adventure on July 17, 2015.’

Furious 7 Director James Wan Sought For Aquaman

April 11, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

james-wanA few months ago Warner & DC announced a huge slate of movies that they’re planning to make over the next few years, from Justice League to Wonder Woman. However a lot of those movies are currently lacking directors, although if Warner gets its way, they’ll fill the Aquaman job with James Wan, according to THR.

The helmer is currently extremely hot after helping Furious 7 to a record-breaking opening weekend. Many had wondered if he was the right man for the job as up to that point he’d only had success in horror, such as Saw, Insidious and The Conjuring, but he’s proven he can handle a massive action franchise.

Aquaman isn’t set for release until 2018, which should give Wan time to make The Conjuring 2 (which is shooting this autumn) and perhaps even another Fast & Furious sequel before his massive superhero movie is released.

Jason Momoa is set to play Aquaman and will first be seen in 2016’s Batman v Superman. It doesn’t appear Wan has signed the deal to direct yet, but it appears one will be sorted soon.

Ryan Gosling Up For Guillermo Del Toro’s Haunted Mansion

April 11, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

ryan-goslingIt’s been several years since Guillermo Del Toro announced he was working on a movie based on Disney’s Haunted Mansion theme park ride. However we haven’t heard much about it since then, but now TheWrap reports that a deal is in the works for Ryan Gosling to star in the movie.

It would appear Del Toro and Gosling may have been plotting this for some time, as the director moderated a panel featuring the actor at SXSW and over Oscar weekend they were spotted together at Disney California Adventure.

There’s no news on the plot, but five years ago when Del Toro first announced the film, he said he wanted to create “a heightened reality, which is super designed, incredibly innovative, narratively and visually.” He added that he wanted to make “the Haunted Mansion the most haunted place on Earth… doing it by being true to the spirit and the art and the aesthetic of the original Imagineers that created the mansion.”

He’s also suggested it would be made in live-action 3D.

Gay Short Film Showcase: The Naturalist – A man chooses whether to stay gay in this futuristic sci-fi

April 9, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

naturalist-short-filmWhile we’re fortunate to have as many LGBT film festivals as we do, it’s a shame that most of the time gay-themed shorts stay in gay film festivals and find it difficult to get much traction at other types of fest. However The Naturalist caused a few waves when it first emerged in 2012 as it one one of the first gay-themed sci-fi films and its genre straddling allowed it to screen beyond the gay film festival circuit.

Now the high concept short is available online and you can watch it below.

The Naturalist is set in a future where mankind is obsessed with genetic ‘perfection’, something they’ve decided homosexuality doesn’t fit into (by the looks of it, being gay is far too hipster-ish for society at large).

Simon and Oliver are a gay couple living a quiet existence, until their genetic ‘anomaly’ is discovered. Threatened with being relocated away from the ‘perfect’ people, Simon must make a very tough decision – he can be genetically modified to become straight, but that will mean leaving behind the love of his life and changing the person he is at a core level.

It’s an interesting film and thought provoking as it explores the nature of sexuality and whether even if being gay was a choice, whether being straight would be the choice everyone would want. Take a look below.

Grace & Frankie Trailer – Take a look at Jane Fonda & Lily Tomlin’s gay-themed series

April 9, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

grace-and-frankie-poster1-slideCasts don’t get much better than Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Martin Sheen and Sam Waterston, but that’s who Netflix have managed to get together for the upcoming Grace & Frankie. Now they’re showcasing the series with a trailer and a set of posters which you can see above and blow.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In Grace and Frankie, Jane Fonda (“Grace”) and Lily Tomlin (“Frankie”) star as two women whose lives are suddenly turned upside down when their husbands reveal they are gay and leave them for each other. Both sparring partners and partners-in-crime, they form an unlikely bond to face an uncertain future together and discover a new definition of “family,” with laughter, tears and plenty of mood enhancers along the way.

‘From executive producers Marta Kauffman (“Friends”) and Howard J. Morris (“Home Improvement”), the hilarious and heartbreaking comedy takes on aging with gusto – from joint pain to joint rolling and blind dates to night blindness – and offers a poignant look at how life’s turning points show us who we really are. The series also stars Martin Sheen and Sam Waterston, along with Brooklyn Decker, Ethan Embry, Baron Vaughn and June Diane Raphael.’

The series is due to debut on Netflix Friday, May 8th. [Read more…]

Orange Is The New Black Season 3 Trailer Arrives – What’s next for Piper & co.?

April 9, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

orange-is-the-new-black-s3-slide2Just a couple of years ago many scoffed at the idea that an online service such as Netflix could produce television that could compete with network entertainment, and that the streaming service was just throwing money away by trying it.

However the likes of House Of Card and Orange Is The New Black have proven them very wrong. Indeed, with Golden Globe nominations and multiple Emmy wins, the extremely LGBT-friendly Orange Is The New Black is amongst the most acclaimed shows around.

Now it’s gearing up for Season 3, which will premiere on June 12th. And now we have the first trailer, which you can watch below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK, the award-winning and critically acclaimed Netflix Original Series, is back for an all-new season. Piper, Red, Crazy Eyes, Taystee, Poussey, Sophia, Daya, Gloria, Big Boo, Pennsatucky and all of Litchfield’s ladies are back for more drama and laughter…as Alex makes her return and a new inmate, Stella (Ruby Rose) joins the gang.’ [Read more…]

New Hot Pursuit Trailer – Reese Witherspoon has to protect Sofia Vergara

April 9, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Hot-Pursuit-QuadSofia Vergara and Reese Witherspoon are going to be hoping that they can repeat the success of The Heat this summer with their comedy Hot Pursuit. Now we can get a feel for whether they might be onto a success as a new trailer has been released.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘From Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures and New Line Cinema comes the comedy “Hot Pursuit,” starring Academy Award winner Reese Witherspoon (“Walk the Line,” “Wild”) and Sofia Vergara (“Chef,” TV’s “Modern Family”), under the direction of Anne Fletcher (“The Proposal”).

‘In “Hot Pursuit,” an uptight and by-the-book cop (Witherspoon) tries to protect the sexy and outgoing widow (Vergara) of a drug boss as they race through Texas, pursued by crooked cops and murderous gunmen.

Fletcher directs from a screenplay written by David Feeney (TV’s “New Girl”) & John Quaintance (TV’s “Ben & Kate”) and Dana Fox (“What Happens in Vegas”) & Katherine Silberman (TV’s “Ben & Kate”). John Carroll Lynch (“Crazy, Stupid, Love.”) and Rob Kazinsky (“Pacific Rim”) also star.’

The movie is due out July 31st. [Read more…]

Sinister 2 Trailer – Things are getting creepy once more

April 9, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

sinister-2-posterBack in 2012 Sinister was a surprise success, being far creepier and effective than anyone had expected. As soon as it became a hit a sequel was announced, which was initially planned to come out only a year after the first movie.

It’s taken a little longer than that, but original writers Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill are now back with Ciaran Foy (Citadel) directing (Derrickson was also due to helm, but stepped aside when he signed on the make Marvel’s Doctor Strange).

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In the aftermath of the shocking events in “Sinister,” a protective mother (Shannyn Sossamon of “Wayward Pines”) and her 9-year-old twin sons (real-life twins Robert and Dartanian Sloan) find themselves in a rural house marked for death as the evil spirit of Bughuul continues to spread with frightening intensity.’

The trailer suggests this won’t be a movie that tries to reinvent the wheel, instead going for some old-school horror thriller. The movie is due out in August. [Read more…]

Paul Bettany’s Vision Finally Gets An Avengers: Age Of Ultron Poster

April 9, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

avengers-age-of-ultron-vision-bannerSeveral weeks ago a slew of posters were released featuring the main characters from Avengers: Age Of Ultron, from Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s Quicksilver to Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man. However one character was missing – Paul Bettany’s vision.

Marvel has now remedied that with a great poster featuring Paul Bettany’s slightly creepy-looking character in the movie.

Not too much is known about how the character plays into the film, although it is known Vision is creating the J.A.R.V.I.S. technology which Bettany has voiced in earlier Marvel movie. There will definitely be problems with that though, as the  Ultron also emerges when Tony Stark’s plans to use technology to create guardians who will protect the world when the superheroes aren’t available goes horribly wrong. It would seem reasonable to assume Ultron and Vision are two sides of the same idea.

Indeed recent reports suggest Vision is created when the robotic Ultron goes rogue and tries to destroy J.A.R.V.I.S., but accidentally gives birth to something unexpected.

Jamie Bell Goes CGI In TheFirst Official Look At Fantastic Four’s The Thing

April 9, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

fantastic-four-empire-pic5

After getting a later start on promoting Fantastic Four (partly because the footage wasn’t ready), even he first pics and trailers hid one big thing – a proper look at The Thing, who will be fully CGI in this new take on the Marvel Comics.

However now he’s been revealed in the pic above, and as you can see, he’s not exactly as good-looking as the character who’ll be voicing him (and playing his pre-superhero human side), Jamie Bell.

Empire has also debuted a couple more pics, which you can see below.

Bell will be joined by Miles Teller as Mr. Fantastic, Kate Mara as the Invisible Woman, and Michael B. Jordan as The Human Torch.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘FANTASTIC FOUR, a contemporary re-imagining of Marvel’s original and longest-running superhero team, centers on four young outsiders who teleport to an alternate and dangerous universe, which alters their physical form in shocking ways. Their lives irrevocably upended, the team must learn to harness their new abilities and work together to save Earth from a former friend turned enemy.’ The film is due out in August. [Read more…]
